161. Killing by name
It is an earthen castle that runs up the Daqing Mountain. A large array was arranged around the entrance, and in Fu Qing's eyes, these mounds and instruments were indeed very confusing, the key was that he didn't know whether these mounds were real mounds or if there were any mechanisms inside. Fortunately, after he showed the blank paper, someone respectfully led him into this formation.
After passing through the large array where the remains of the dead remained, I arrived at the city wall, and found that the city wall was full of holes, densely packed. Walking through the ten-zhang long city gate hole, it is an urn city, and after the urn city, it is the inner city of the castle.
Fu Qingshuang sighed secretly, the one who built this city would not be a turtle, and there were not a few of them in the Central Plains with this kind of structure.
Entering the city, it was another scene, full of terraced fields, mud houses sits haphazardly, and in some places a hole was dug in the mountain to house people. It may be winter, the New Year is approaching, there is no one in the field, and every household is making things related to the Spring Festival. It's not like a city, it's more like a big village.
"Mr. Fu, please come here, our holy envoy has been waiting for a long time." The one who brought Fu Qingshuang in was a middle-aged man in his forties, not tall, with a Shaanxi accent, who was completely like a peasant, and it seemed that he had just passed food and clothing.
Fu Qingshuang nodded, no longer looked at this big village, and followed this person into a small cave. Not long after, out of the hole, there is a small valley with a waterfall, and there are several palace-like buildings in the valley.
The peasant walked a few steps quickly and said to the guards guarding the palace gate: "Please inform Guo Sheng's envoy that Mr. Fu has arrived." ”
After a while, Fu Qingshuang was led into a palace on the right.
There is no decoration in the palace, and it is not even as good as Mrs. Xiangshui's view of Xiangshui in De'an. The whole building, except that the system is palace-style, Fu Qingshuang didn't see where it looked like a palace. The servant served the tea, Fu Qingshuang picked it up and smelled it, there was a grass smell, there was no smell of tea, and he didn't plan to drink it when he put it down.
A man dressed as a military general came in from the inner room, followed by two maids. "Is this Mr. Fu?"
Fu Qingshuang smiled, when this person handed over the 'princess' last time, he had seen it in the imperial tent, and he got up and saluted, "Guo Sheng's envoy." ”
Guo Heng laughed a few times, "Sit." He asked a little proudly: "How is my Guangyang Palace?" It's comparable to those princes' mansions, right? ”
Fu Qingshuang smiled noncommittally.
"Drink tea and drink tea." Guo Heng greeted him very politely.
Fu Qingshuang picked up the teacup and compared it to his lips, then put it back.
"This tea is a specialty of our White Lotus Holy City, let me say that it is comparable to Longjing, and the Emperor of the Central Plains is not blessed to drink it." Guo Heng's face was full of pride.
Fu Qingshuang smiled politely again, "Why is Guo Sheng's envoy summoned?" ”
Guo Heng laughed again: "Mr. Fu is really a master." ”
Fu Qingshuang really didn't know what was funny, let alone where he was high, so he had to say modestly: "Where, where, it can't compare to the holy envoys of the Holy Sect." ”
"That's just as well." Guo Heng is not modest. "So I will call you and direct you."
Fu Qingshuang smiled again, this person is too ...... to speak I don't know if I'm blushing. "Envoy Guo, please speak."
"That princess, not a princess, right?" Guo Heng blinked and stared at Fu Qingshuang with small eyes.
"She was the one Fu picked up in Beijing, and she escorted her all the way to Tumochuan as required, as I said last time."
"Then Mr. Fu, can you give me a puzzle, why are the three people we went to pick up all dead?"
Fu Qingshuang scolded secretly, why didn't he ask this question in the first place. Pretending to be shocked, he said: "There is a hidden disease that I don't know, and I found it on the road." The other two obviously entered the city together, but later, Fu didn't see it, what? They also died? After a pause, he muttered to himself with some trepidation, "Is it, is it ......." ”
"What?" Guo Heng asked nervously.
"When Fu set off, Shenjun once said that at this time, if you go north to meet the evil spirit, you will not see the dead people, otherwise the evil will follow. She also scored two talismans on me and the princess to save her life. Could it be that there is really evil that accompanies it?! After speaking, he looked around with a frightened face.
Guo Heng was even more nervous by what he said, "This, this......." ”
Fu Qingshuang smiled unnaturally, "Guo Sheng's mana is boundless, and this is the White Lotus Holy City, I am not afraid, and I don't know, I don't know if I can clear the evil ...... that followed me." ”
Guo Heng's face turned pale, and he hurriedly made a long story short, "I invited Mr. Fu to come this time to talk about the business last time." These days, some nobles have died in the city, and we know that Mr. Fu did it. But what we want to kill is not these people, but the direct relatives of Altan Khan, such as Huang Taiji and Hannaji. ”
Fu Qing flattened his mouth, "You want to kill by name, of course you can, but Altan Khan's direct line is very difficult, I'm afraid it's different from what I said before." ”
"What do you mean?"
"These things, why don't you discuss them with the Divine Monarch? Fu is only responsible for taking on tasks. ”
Guo Heng seemed to be very afraid of what Fu Qingshuang said, and wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible, "Shenjun is in the Central Plains, at this time, where can we get in touch." Mr. Fu took over the task. ”
"Alas, it's not that I didn't answer, only to find that there were a lot of Holy Sect masters when I entered the city, Fu just wanted to ask, I don't know if the fee was paid? If you don't pay, I think it's better for you to do this kind of thing yourself. ”
Guo Heng was stunned by his question, and he didn't know what to say.
Fu Qingshuang sighed and said, "Fu Mou has traveled thousands of miles to Tumochuan, and this mission has already been compromised. Now the people you have appointed are really not ...... to kill. ”
"What do you mean?"
"You can designate, however, from now on, the previously promised fee is still valid, but if you kill your designation, add another five thousand."
Guo Heng was taken aback by what he said, "Five thousand, will it be too much?" ”
"Otherwise, you don't have to designate, I'll kill casually here, according to the original agreement."
"This ......."
"Guo Sheng, you can think slowly, Fu Mou won't leave anyway. It's just that....... Fu Qingshuang looked embarrassed.
"Just what?"
"Guo Shengzhi, you know, I follow evil around me, and I may die wherever I go......."
Guo Heng muttered as if he had eaten a fly: "It's really not good, it's okay to kill one." It's the problem of money, the problem of money, let's discuss it, and there is nothing else, do you want Mr. Fu to come back? We've discussed it to inform you? ”
Fu Qingshuang frowned and sighed, "I don't mind staying in the Holy City for a few days....... ”
"There is no inn in the holy city."
"It's the same if you live here, after all, it's comparable to the Prince's Mansion."
Guo Heng jumped up, "No, no, no." ”
"I came from the Central Plains, with the princess, the cost of the road is really not small, I thought that after killing a few people, I could go back to the Central Plains, who knows, now no one is out of the city at all. Guo Shengzhi, this ......, don't hide it from the Holy Envoy, I have no money to stay, and I have to insist on not returning until the beginning of spring, what can I do? Well, I'm staying here ....... ”
"No, no, no. You—You're asking for money, aren't you? ”
Fu Qingshuang was embarrassed and said, "I'm really embarrassed." I've never been to Tomogawa. ”
"For you, ten taels."
"Ten taels?" Fu Qingshuang secretly rolled his eyes and sighed: "A person who has left his hometown and spent the Spring Festival in this foreign country, and he doesn't even have an acquaintance, so I'll live here." ”
"Thirty taels. Give you the Spring Festival. ”
"Two hundred taels." Fu Qing opened his mouth.
"Fifty taels."
"I still have to go back to the Central Plains, and I will have to pay for the journey back to the Central Plains. No, I'd better live here. Guo Shengzhi doesn't need to give me money. ”
Guo Heng was anxious and ruthless, "One hundred taels, it can't be more." You go to the city and wait for us to hear back. ”
Fu Qingshuang was holding a silver ticket of one hundred taels and swayed out of the White Lotus Holy City.
What a good person, it's a pity that he is a little poor, and this hundred taels is also made up. There was a smile on the corner of Fu Qing's mouth.
Find a place to have a good meal, then get a good night's sleep for a few days, and then ...... Find the princess. Alas, I don't know how the spy was found, he should have been hooked up in the first place, anyway, everyone was looking for the princess. However, if they really gave five thousand taels to kill, would the princess still be able to find it? Of course not. If you don't lose money, what are you looking for?
Fu Qingshuang really found the best inn in the city and slept well for a few days. As soon as he wanted to go out to find the princess, the shopkeeper stopped him and said that a friend had left him a letter. When I opened it, it was two thousand taels of silver tickets, plus a name 'Hannaji'.
